Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure the raspberries are thawed and drained before adding them to the dough. Otherwise, they will make the dough too wet.

• Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the crinkles tough.
• Let the crinkles cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
